"This is the last video my sister sent me before she disappeared. I have been looking for the room in the video and paying attention to any clues about that room."
"Hard work pays off. When I was browsing the campus forum, I accidentally found a post introducing strange stories about Jiujiang Medical University. One of the strange stories was about a statue that could cry."
"It is said that if you find the statue after midnight, you can ask it to help verify the truth of a sentence. If the sentence is true, it will shed tears of blood. If it is false, something terrible will happen."
Ma Ying found a screenshot of the post from her mobile phone album. There was a picture at the end of the post. Coincidentally, the statue in the picture was exactly the same as the statue captured in Ma Ying’s sister’s video.
A Western-style sculpture of an adult male, slightly larger than life-size, with an ugly face. On the base is a sentence: Lies have an enviable appearance, but the truth is always ugly.
"I privately chatted with the poster to find out where his photo came from, but he never responded to me."
"Later, I contacted that person through my mentor. He said that he took the photo casually in an abandoned warehouse. At that time, he just thought that the sculpture and the strange story went well together, so he uploaded them together."
"No one has entered the warehouse since the other departments of the Medical University moved to the new campus a few years ago. If he is telling the truth, it is certain that the sculpture is still in the abandoned warehouse."
Ma Ying and Liu Xianxian are good friends who can talk about anything. Ma Ying has a carefree personality and once she trusts someone, she will do her utmost to help them.
"I hope I can find it this time. I really want to know the answer."
The two girls climbed over the guardrail and sneaked into the abandoned teaching building.
"Every time I come in, I feel a little uncomfortable. I always feel like there are other people in this building besides us."
Because they were afraid that the light would attract the attention of the security guards, Ma Ying and Liu Xianxian did not turn on the lights on their cell phones. They felt the wall and walked towards the end of the corridor little by little.
"It's a pity that this building is abandoned. I don't know why the school would rather leave it empty than rent it out." Ma Ying murmured to herself. She was very scared, but it was inconvenient for her to show it in front of Liu Xianxian. She seemed to really regard Liu Xianxian as her best friend. When exploring the way, she walked alone in front, protecting Liu Xianxian behind her.
Liu Xianxian, who was relatively petite, followed Ma Ying. After entering the teaching building, she also became nervous: "Xiaoying, after our previous explorations, I asked seniors who had graduated a few years ago about the situation. They said that there was a hidden reason why this teaching building was abandoned, including the reason why several other departments moved to the new campus."
"What's the reason?" Ma Ying is very tall and looks much stronger than the average girl, but that doesn't mean she is brave.
"It seems to be related to the cadaver teacher. This teaching building was closed simply because it is too close to the laboratory building." Liu Xianxian looked out the window and saw a very strange scene in the School of Forensic Medicine of Jiujiang Medical University at two o'clock in the morning.
If the entire campus is divided into four areas: east, south, west and north, there is some light in the three directions, but only the west is completely dark.
"It is said that the largest underground morgue in Jiujiang is just to the west of our school. Not turning on the lights after midnight is a tradition left over from long ago. Anatomy teachers work very hard during the day and need a good rest at night, but do you believe this reason?" Liu Xianxian's voice sounded strange, and her face looked particularly pale today.
“It’s a little strange.”
"There are many strange things in this school. Do you remember what the counselor said when we first entered the school? We must not enter the West Campus alone after midnight. Someone asked him the reason, but he hesitated and refused to tell me. Later, I asked the seniors and found out that a long time ago, a freshman went out to surf the Internet at night and saw someone waving at him. As a result, he ran into the West Campus in the middle of the night and saw a damaged corpse specimen in the laboratory."
The more Liu Xianxian spoke, the uglier her expression became: "There are many similar things. Now I can't figure out what is true and what is false."
"Liu Xian, we've been searching for several nights. Don't give up now." In Ma Ying's view, Liu Xianxian was her only companion. If Liu Xianxian backed down, she would have to go alone if she wanted to find the sculpture related to her sister's disappearance in the future.
"I know, but I suddenly feel that it's stupid for me to insist on doing so." Liu Xian took out her mobile phone and wanted to delete one of the phone numbers.
The two girls walked to the corner of the stairs and entered the basement.
Only after they were sure that no one was following them did they dare to turn on the flashlight on their mobile phones.
"It feels like this place has gotten a lot colder." The chilly wind blew through Ma Ying's hair. She and Liu Xianxian huddled together. "I can't see a vent here. I really don't know where the wind is coming from."
When their shoulders touched, Ma Ying suddenly realized that Liu Xianxian's body was very cold, as if she was frozen.
"Liu Xian? Why are you so cold?"
“A little nervous.”
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. No matter what happens, I will definitely protect you."
The two of them walked through the corridor on the first underground floor, without entering the rooms on either side, and went straight to the second underground floor.
There were stains on the stairs, and they looked dirty, as if someone had dragged something across them.
"It seems someone came in before us." Ma Ying looked at the water stains on the ground and smelled the lingering smell in the air. As a medical student, she was very familiar with this smell: "It seems to be formalin."
"Formalin is strictly prohibited from being taken out of the laboratory. How could it be here?" Liu Xian knew the function of formalin very well. It was used to preserve corpse specimens. "The ground floor of the teaching building is connected to the west area. Could someone have entered the underground corpse storage? A few years ago, I heard that someone stole cadavers and sold them for money."
"It shouldn't be possible. Even if he can get the body out of the underground morgue, how can he transport it outside the school? There are surveillance cameras on the ground." Ma Ying reassured Liu Xianxian: "Don't think too much. The underground morgue will hire people to maintain it regularly. It should be left by them."
"If it were them, they wouldn't have entered from the teaching building. They would have gone through the main entrance. I still think there's something wrong." Although Liu Xianxian said there was something wrong, she went downstairs faster than Ma Ying.
She held onto the wall and went down to the second underground floor, then raised her cell phone to take a picture.
There is a passage on each side, with signs on the wall. The right one leads to the ordinary warehouse, and the left one leads to the underground morgue.
There are more and more water stains remaining on the ground, and it can be clearly seen that all the water stains are concentrated in the passage on the left.
"It seems like someone really has entered the underground morgue." Ma Ying looked at the dark passage on the left, raised her cell phone and shone it in that direction.
